Printing cost calculation 【 Buke printing factory 】
The calculation of printing costs is generally based on the color order, so the printing pricing formula is often referred to as the color order formula. Although some items or calculation methods do not use color orders as a unit, using color orders as the standard pricing unit for printing is the simplest and most direct, easy to include complex specific items, easy to understand and operate, and also less prone to errors. In the original printing price list in Beijing, the pricing unit for platform machine printing was offset printing, while the pricing unit for rotary machine printing was Ling or Zhang. The "Guiding Labor Price" simplifies the original design, unifies the color order as the pricing unit for printing, and adds two unit price data series with printing sheets and folio sheets as the measurement units. Color order is a universal unit of calculation, as it solves the pricing of single sided printing; The printing sheet is most suitable for double-sided printing, especially for the rotation pricing of double-sided printing. Pricing personnel can use it accordingly, which will reduce errors and accelerate speed. If unified to the color order, the rotation pricing unit will be changed from the original order to the color order, and the unit will be reduced by half. For example, the single color rotation costs 8 yuan per color order. The color order refers to printing one color per 500 sheets of fully open paper. That is to say, on a folio printing machine, printing one color for every 1000 sheets of folio paper is considered one color order. On a four sheet printing machine, printing one color on every 20 sheets of four sheet paper is considered one color order. On a six sheet printing machine, printing one color on every 300 sheets of six sheet paper is considered one color order.
The pricing formula is
Color order=number of sheets on the plate x number of prints/1000 × impression
The prices listed on the labor price list are all for one color, with multi color prices=unit price x color frequency. For example, when it comes to color printing, for full open paper, the single sided color is 4 colors, and the double sided color is 8 colors. Spot colors need to be calculated separately because they usually involve cleaning the ink conveying device, and most manufacturers' machine configurations are four color configurations. Spot colors require secondary paper feeding, so it is customary to calculate one spot color as two colors to compensate for the loss of printing preparation during printing. Similarly, large-scale on-site or flat screen printing is difficult, and it is difficult to reflect the labor value and high-quality and cost-effective guidelines of the printing factory without increasing wages. Therefore, an additional 50% can be added to the one color price.
For example, a book has 2 printed sheets and 100000 copies are printed on 60g/m2 offset paper, with 2 colors printed on one side and 1 color printed on the other side. If the unit price for double-sided printing is 10 yuan per folio thousand printing, the unit price for book plate rotation is 0.012 yuan per printing sheet, the unit price for eight color rotation is 12 yuan per folio thousand printing, and the unit price for platform four color machine is 20 yuan per folio thousand printing. Calculate the printing cost separately based on the original measurement unit and color order.
